Mess with Carey and you'll pay the Price

There's a new contender for heavyweight champion of the NHL and his name is Carey Price.

After a collision between the Montreal Canadiens goaltender and New Jersey's Kyle Palmieri late in the first period Thursday, there's no question who leads the Habs in shots:
